Give Ireland Back to the Irish by Paul McCartney – ***
First released: 1972
The a-side of the single is Paul's first protest song and was finally released on album on the UK CD reissue of "Ram" in 1993. The instrumental b-side to "Give Ireland Back to the Irish", but with different instrumentation, so it is worth a listen for that. When the McCartney remastered CDs were issued in the UK with more bonus tracks, this version was left off and is still in CD limbo.

Girlfriend by Paul McCartney – ***
First released: 1978
I think Paul should learn to stay away from the helium from this otherwise harmless song from "London Town". This was much better suited for Michael Jackson, who had a major UK hit with it on his "Off the Wall" album in 1979. Later, it was included on 2001’s "Wingspan".

Girl’s School by Paul McCartney – ***
First released: 1977
The b-side of "Mull of Kintyre" that has nothing really remarkable about it other than being a half-way decent rocker. It was later added to the "London Town" CD reissue.

Girl is Mine, The by Paul McCartney – **
First released: 1982
Arrgh! Painful…PAINFUL!! This is the most dreadful song to ever come off of one of the most best-selling popular albums of all time featuring the top talents in the industry, namely Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. The worst parts about it (i.e. “dog-gone” and the spoken dialogue at the end) are what McCartney (and the rest of the world) hated about the track and what Jackson loved. What a career killer for McCartney. It’s on Jackson’s "Thriller" and his "History" compilation for those wanting to hurt their ears, as well as a hit single and a one-sided single. It should have been a no-sided single.
